Beat you already...It's in politics. I wasn't gonna let an opportunity to start such a large thread to go by...

You made your parents proud.

Yeah....that's a rather sad goal to have.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

I'm not competitive and was simply shocked and saddened at the awful events unfolding at what is a premier athletic occasion. The coverage here on Sky TV in the UK is extensive and truly awful in the detail of human tragedy and suffering. My heart goes out to all those involved, and I wish the investigative agencies every success in their response to this outrage.

I share your sentiments. May the funeral of Margaret Thacher be without incident, and may the London Marathon be successful.

Lord have mercy.

According to today's The Times security officials in London responsible for arrangements around Baroness Thatcher's funeral tomorrow and the London Marathon had a video conference with their American counterparts last night. Both will be going ahead with heightened security arrangements. God willing we will not have added more tragic events than those already heaped upon us. Again my heart goes out to those so grievously affected.
